Instructions for contributors

 

Ciência & Saúde Coletiva publishes debates, analyses and research findings on specific themes considered to be of relevance to public health, as well as articles for discussion and analysis of the state of the art topics in the area and subareas, even if they are not directly related to the core theme under scrutiny. The journal is published monthly and sets out to tackle the challenges while seeking to consolidate and promote an ongoing update of trends of thought and practices in public health in a dialogue with the contemporary agenda of Science & Technology.

Open Access Policy - Ciência & Saúde Coletiva is published under the Open Access model and is therefore free for anybody to read and download, and to copy and disseminate for educational purposes.

The Ciência & Saúde Coletiva Journal accepts articles in preprints of nationally and internationally recognized databases.

When submitting your article, you should be aware of what a preprint is and how you should introduce yourself to this first stage of Open Science. The preprint makes articles and other scientific communications available immediately or in parallel with their evaluation and validation by the journals. This procedure accelerates the communication of research results, guarantees intellectual authorship, and allows authors to receive comments that improve their work before submitting it to any journal. While the article may remain only in the preprint repository (if authors do not want to submit it to a journal), the journals continue to exercise the fundamental functions of validating, preserving, and disseminating research. Therefore:

(1) You can submit your article now to the SciELO preprints server (https://preprints.scielo.org) or another trusted server. In this case, it will be evaluated by a team of specialists from these servers to verify whether the manuscript follows the essential criteria regarding text structure and types of documents. If approved, it will receive a doi that guarantees his immediate international dissemination.

(2) Concomitantly, should you wish so, you can submit it to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Both processes are compatible.

(3) You could choose to submit the article only to Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Submission to the preprint repository is not mandatory.

Guidelines for the organization of thematic issues

 

Within the diversity of magazines in the area, the hallmark of Ciência & Saúde Coletiva Journal is its thematic focus in line with ABRASCO’s vocation to conduct in-depth study, as well as promote and disseminate academic debate and peer discussions on issues considered important and relevant and highlight the historical development of public health in Brazil.

The thematic editions are scheduled around four modes of submission:

  • By Term of Reference sent by teachers/researchers in the area of public health (spontaneously or suggested by the Editors-in-Chief) when they consider it relevant to examine a given subject in greater depth.
  • By Term of Reference sent by coordinators of unpublished and comprehensive research relevant to the area, on results presented in the form of articles within the guidelines described above. In these first two approaches, the Terms of Reference are evaluated on their scientific merit and relevance by the Associate Editors of the Journal.
  • By Public Call for papers announced in a page in the journal, and coordinated by Guest Editors. In this case, the Guest Editors accumulate the task of selecting the articles according to their scope to be judged on their merit by referees. Works for this modality will only be accepted if sent to the e-mail informed in the call.
  • By Internal Organization of in-house Editors-in-chief, bringing together unsolicited articles under a relevant title within the criteria already described.

The Term of Reference shall contain: (1) title (even provisional) of the proposed thematic edition; (2) the name (or names) of the Guest Editor(s); (3) justification summarized in one or two paragraphs on the proposal from the point of view of the objectives, context, meaning and relevance for Public Health; (4) a list of the ten proposed articles already with the names of the invited authors; (5) the proposal with the text consisting of an opinion or interview with someone who has authority in the discussion of the subject; and (6) proposal of one or two synopses of books that address the theme.

By editorial decision, the maximum number of articles written by the same author in a thematic edition shall not exceed three, either as first author or co-author.

It is emphatically suggested to the organizers that they submit contributions by authors from various national institutions and from foreign contributors. As for any other form of presentation, these editions accept texts in Spanish, English and French.

 

 

Recommendations for the submission of articles

 

Notes on Editorial Policy

The Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva reaffirms its mission of publishing original articles, which bring novelty and provide advancement in Collective Health knowledge. Any text that falls within this scope is and will always be welcome, within the criteria described below:

  1. The article should deal with local interest issues or be situated only on the descriptive plane.
  2. In his introduction, authors must make clear the unprecedented nature of the contribution of their article. It is also highly recommended that the author explains in detail in the letter to the editor why his article is a novelty and how it contributes to the advancement of knowledge.
  3. The data discussions should present an analysis that simultaneously values ​​the research’s specificity or review findings and sets these findings in dialogue with national and international literature.
  4. The qualitative article must present explicitly analyzes and interpretations anchored in some theory or theoretical reflection that promotes dialogue between the Social and Human Sciences and Public Health. The text should also value ​​national and international knowledge.
  5. As for quantitative articles, the journal prioritizes the population-based and those deriving from random sampling. Works not fitting the editorial line are those with small or only descriptive convenience samples or analyses without theoretical basis and superficial discussions and interpretations.
  6. Reviews should summarize the current state of the art and interpret the available evidence, producing a synthesis that contributes to the advancement of knowledge. Thus, our guidance is to publish only reviews of high relevance, scope, originality, and theoretical and methodological consistency, bringing new knowledge to Public Health.

Important note - Given the exponential increase in the Journal’s demand (which in 2020 exceeded 4,000 original works), all articles undergo an initial screening, carried out by the Editors-in-Chief. Their decision on whether to accept it or not is based on the priorities mentioned and the merit of the manuscript regarding originality, pertinence of statistical or qualitative analysis, adequacy of methods, and rich interpretation of the discussion. Only a small proportion of the originals are currently forwarded to reviewers and receive a detailed opinion considering these criteria.

C&SC journal adopts the "Rules for submission of proposed articles for publication in medical journals," of the International Committee of Editors of Medical Journals, the Portuguese version of which is published in Rev Port Clin Geral 1997; 14:159-174. The document is available on various sites on the World Wide Web, such as by way of example, www.icmje.org or www.apmcg.pt/document/71479/450062.pdf.
